What's happening on the island's north end at the moment, is part of a new American adventure. Since the early 1870s the force has been spinning around the island, like a hurricane of another era. What the Calusas knew and then passed on by word of mouth to people like José Caldez, has now gone public - big time - and morphed into a fledgling industry. Forest and Stream began publishing in 1873 and touting Florida as a sports paradise. Ten years later, March of 1885 to be exact, they ran a story about a New Yorker named W.H. Wood who landed a 93 lb. tarpon at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee that set the sport on fire. And by the '90s, the Fort Myers Press was listing the number of fish caught weekly. Because, by then it had become possible for America's new explorers to go where they've almost never gone before - tarpon fishing.
